docs: map IDXD reflective framework; defaulted-field routes

Route-A investigation of the defaulted-field hunt: mapped the generic
IDXD reflective serializer (IdxdLoad_Dispatch/Idxd_Parse/
Reflect_FindFieldIndex/Reflect_SetField + g_FieldNameRegistry) and the
global name-vector. Established that Idxd_Parse only writes fields
present in the pool; defaults come from each type's constructor via the
reflection registry. Quantified the gap (534 craft: 30-70% of core
stats defaulted) and documented the two finish routes (static
constructor reversal vs. runtime registry dump).

+## IDXD reflective serialization framework
+
+Generic tagged-object (de)serializer shared by ~15 object families (craft,
+weapon, message/character, effects, …). The `.pak` IDXD payloads are read
+through this.

+| Address | Name | Conf | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `0x824486C0` | `IdxdLoad_Dispatch` | M | Entry: reads the magic and dispatches across variants `IDXD` (`0x49445844`), `IDX2`, `IDX3`, `IDXC`, `IXUD` → the matching parser. **15 callers** (one per object family). The target object is passed in `r3` — already constructed (defaults set) by the caller. |
+| `0x82448D00` | `IdxdLoad_Variant2` | M | Sibling variant loader (also materializes the `IDXD` magic). |
+| `0x82449640` | `Idxd_Parse` | M | The IDXD body parser: skips a BOM, then loops the string pool — per field, reads the name token, `Reflect_FindFieldIndex`, then dispatches on the **value's first char** (jump table at `0x824497F8`, index `firstchar - 0x22`) to type-specific writers. Only fields **present** in the pool are written. |
+| `0x8244A2F0` | `Reflect_FindFieldIndex` | M | Look up a field-name string in a global name-vector at `0x820B4F18` (std::vector-like: count `+20`, data `+24`/SSO), via a `strncmp`-style compare (`0x825EDCE0`). Returns index or `-1`. |
+| `0x8244A4B0` | `Reflect_SetField` | L | Apply a value to `object` using its per-instance property registry at `object+64` and a config string at `0x820B4F28`. |
+| `0x820B4F18` | `g_FieldNameRegistry` (data) | L | Global reflection name-vector (runtime-built) used by `Reflect_FindFieldIndex`. |

+**Defaulted fields:** a field is written to the IDXD pool only when it differs
+from its default, so `Idxd_Parse` never sets defaulted fields — their values are
+established by each **type's constructor** (in the 15 `IdxdLoad_Dispatch`
+callers) before load, via this same registry. Recovering them statically means
+reversing those constructors and joining `field-name → struct-offset →
+default-store`; a runtime dump of a loaded object's registry gives
+`name → value` directly. (Open — see below.)

+    (`offset → value`), join them — heavy, and offset↔name correlation is
+    error-prone. (B, runtime) dump a loaded craft object's registry
+    (`obj+64`) / struct from xenia-rs or Canary — a fully-loaded craft already
+    holds every default; one dump yields `name → value`. **B is the efficient
+    finish** given the framework is generic; A's framework map above is the
+    prerequisite either way.
